Saint-Germain sacks the German coach Tochel ... and the Argentine substitute, Pochettino

Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed today that the French club Paris Saint-Germain has informed its German coach Thomas Tuchel that he is no longer interested in his services.

The newspaper said that the coach received the dismissal decision from the manager of the Brazilian club Leonardo yesterday.

The dismissal came at a time when the team was not in a good condition even at the national level, as it lost to Lyon in the league, then tied with Lille, and lost its place at the top of the French League, while it suffered a lot to qualify as the top of its group in the Champions League.

AS said club officials do not like Tuchel's playing style, nor his strained relationship with a number of star players.

It is expected that the alternative will be Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has not coached any team, since his departure from Tottenham Hotspur.
